Royal Society of Arts
Deborah’s FRSA nomination by an existing fellow: "If any organization is perfect to pair
with Deborah Collier, it is the RSA – she is an original thinker, a pioneer of a positive
vision of the future-human. A celebrator of what digital can achieve for humanity. It all
started delivering tech-support to the MOD in the nineties - as one of the first women in IT.
Deborah is about social development through immersion into the arts, she is about
promoting and pioneering the evolution of socially conscious species through digital.
Everything she talks about, and champions, online or otherwise, is original and disruptive.
Deborah grew up with the arts in her bones, a music producer, a published poet, with many
published articles, and more awaiting publication, primarily focused on futurism, strategic
education, business leadership, commerce and digital. Deborah is about what she can give
the people of an increasingly aware world, what legacy can she generate through her
influence. It is no surprise that she is a member of MENSA – not for her own personal
development but to support their remit: a society which "aims to identify and foster human
intelligence for the benefit of humanity".
